From A to Z, It's Chika and Me

Chika sighed, glancing up at the falling cherry blossoms in the Ouran Academy gardens.They spiraled down to the ground slowly, occasionally falling off-track whenever a slight breeze blew. Birds twittered in the trees, and the whole area was silent, except for the wind, the twitter of the birds, and Chika's own breathing.

Her pencil wavered over her notebook, hovering over the letter K, which was scribbled in swirly print. Covering two whole pages, the alphabet was enumerated from A to Z, for a reason Chika could not explain. It had been Kari's idea, of course, to create an alphabet of one's self, and already she had all the letters except for Z, which the emotionless girl commented to have no correspondence to herself.

In her concentration, Chika missed the flash of blue coming from a nearby cherry blossom tree. Two curious amber eyes blinked, and suddenly, Kaoru was beside the blonde-haired girl in a flash, staring at the letters in Chika's notebook.

Chika blushed dark red before shaking her head vigorously. "N-no! I just like bats!"

"Well, OK." Kaoru shrugged, but he had noticeably grown more attentive as he read the other facts. "'C is for Chika, which is MY name! D is for Dichter, my best friend's last name, H is for Honey-senpai, the cutest ever!'" He mock-pouted at Chika. "Wait, so you don't consider me cute?"

"OK." Kaoru drooped before continuing to read. "'F is for Fujioka, Haru-chan's last name, I'm going to skip... W is for white, the real color of my hair?! K is for..." Kaoru stopped as he realized there was nothing on the letter. "Huh. K doesn't have any words yet."

Chika looked abashed as she nervously smoothed her skirt around her. "I-I couldn't think of anything that's really me for the letter K, s-so I left it blank..."

However, Kaoru noticed that the letter K was the only one left blank, and he suddenly knew. He knew what to put for the letter K.

Reaching for Chika's pencil - and hand - Kaoru guided her to write his name on the paper, making Chika turn red with embarrassment as she hastily started insisting that he stop. However, he only grinned. "Hey, I think I got a new couplet for you."

Kaoru nodded, but then, the bell rang, and they had to go inside. "Come on, let's go, Chika-chan." Standing up first, he held out his hand to the girl, and she accepted it humbly before they ran inside. However, her notebook fell out of her bag, and she didn't notice it.

Emerging from the shadows, Michi and Mitsukuni simply smiled as they picked up Chika's notebook. Then, they looked at each other, and Michi pulled out her exclusive Black Magic Club doll, similar to Nekozawa's, but black with large eyes. Then, muttering a small chant, the two tiny students disappeared into the darkness, taking Chika's notebook along with them.

However, a leaf had been enclosed in Chika's notebook, and the thick ink on the paper had blotted onto the leaf. On the leaf, it was written...
